What is Enjin Coin?

Enjin Coin (ENJ), quite like many other coins, such as VeChain, Lisk, OmiseGO, Zcash, Binance, Stratis etc, is a new Ethereum blockchain cryptocurrency and ERC-20 token. It works as a contract platform and provides game developers, content creators and gaming communities the necessary crypto-supported tools as well as value for the management and implementation of virtual goods.

With the inception of its ENJ coin and targeting the gaming community, the company not just aspires to become the ultimate gaming currency, simultaneously, but also aims to create a hassle-free solution for communities, content creators, game servers, and game publishers.

Enjin provides a new gaming experience to online gamers with real value and ownership by allowing them to bring or trade their assets from game to game, community to community, increasing their digital wallet with real value while they play.

Some of the major challenges that Enjin aims to address and resolve with its cryptocurrency platform are as follows:

Lack of true ownership & genuine transparency is missing

No open standards for decentralized currencies and assets

Locked in and centralized digital items and currencies

Public crowdsale

It started on October 3, 2017 at 5am PDT, and ended on October 31, 2017 when sold out. Enjin had created only 1bln ENJ tokens, and sold its ENJ tokens at price of 1 ETH which was equal to 6,000 ENJ during the first week, which came down to 3,000 ENJ by week 4. The company in fact offered bigger discounts during the pre-sale period. Besides, Enjin also distributed some coins to certain individuals free.

Unsold tokens and team vesting

The company decided to offer any unsold tokens in presale to public sale. It even decided to lock team tokens for the first 6 months, and vested them over a period of 24 months total.

It also reserved advisor tokens for 2 months and distributed them completely.

Blagov has more than 15 years of extensive experience in creative direction, project management, and UX design, whereas Radomski has been overseeing the technical engineering of Enjin for around a decade.

Final remarks

Similar to other startup coins like Siacoin & waves, Enjin too still has to go a long way though through its whitepaper it claims to have completed most of its proposed works and accumulated the required funds through its presale.

Enjin may call its concept fresh and new, it is surely not going to be the winner in this constantly- rippling crypto world as cryptocoins like WAX and other also seems desirous enough when it comes to alluring online gamers and content creators and god knows there may come many more with more fresh ideas.

But on a positive and prospective note, it can be said that you can bet on this coin as it certainly has certain superb accomplishments to achieve, and if you are a true game love, then you must give it a go.
